Rhythm in the House!
Find each item pictured and play each of the rhythms on them.  Put a checkmark in each box when you are done.  You don't have to finish it in one day.  
Once you are done, you can take a picture and email it to Mr. Heaton if you like,
​jon.heaton@yesnet.yk.ca.

Every note has a length.  We count this length in beats.  When we put notes together to make a pattern, it's called a rhythm.
On the first worksheet page below, you need to make a pattern of notes that adds up to 3 beats.   It's kind of like math!!!!!!!!  The patterns are started and you have to finish them.  The cool thing is that you can choose the notes you want as long as they add up to 3!
the second page is like a maze.  You follow the notes to find your way.  Remember!  The pattern is                    Ta    Ti-ti .      Over and over again!

Follow along to this video.  Can you clap the patterns?  Each pattern has four beats in the video.

Every word has a rhythm sound.    Dog has 1.   Puppy has 2.  You can make rhythms patterns by saying word and clapping them at the same time.  The clapping is the rhythm!
Try making different rhythms by saying and clapping the different animal names on this worksheet.  Mix them up!

​Here are some videos using words to play rhythms.  Play along.

Rhythm Dice
This week you will make your own rhythm dice.  You may need to get your parents to help you.  Here is the dice template and game.

Here is a video showing how you put the dice together after you have cut it out.

​Each beat that you roll in the game lets you take a step in the racing game.  Can you beat someone in your house?  Can you add up the beats?  Have fun!

You get to use the rhythm dice you made last week.  If you don't have the dice, scroll down to last week's activity and print the dice and make it.

For this activity you:

• Use the rhythm dice you made last week and roll 8 times.
• Write down the rhythm in each roll in a space. Once you’ve filled the spaces in each line, clap the rhythm.
• Get someone in your family to clap it. If they are having trouble, make sure you help them. You are the expert!​

​Here is the printable sheet.

How to Play

1. 1)  Pick a song for the other person to sing.
   Use songs that they already know like Twinkle Twinkle, Row! Row! Row Your Boat, or Mary Had a Little Lamb.
2. 2)  Roll the dice and they have to sing the song using that dynamic. Remember! Dynamics mean volume!
3. 3)  Next person takes a turn.

If you can’t remember the different dynamics, here is a reminder.
pp is pianissimo - Very Quiet
p is piano - Quiet
mp is mezzo piano - Medium Quiet 
mf is mezzo forte - Medium Loud 
​f is Forte - Loud
ff is fortissimo - Very Loud

Save the dynamics cube! We will use it for other activities.
